Built especially for faculty teaching post-secondary courses in such areas as demography, economics, geography, political science, social psychology, and sociology, the materials include stand-alone learning activities, tools, and pedagogy services. The goal is to make it easier for faculty to bring real social science data into courses across the curriculum ranging from introductory classes to senior seminars. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=87114 Described by the author as "The Interactive Statistical Pages project represents an ongoing effort to develop and disseminate statistical analysis software in the form of web pages. Utilizing HTML forms, CGI and Perl scripts, Java, JavaScript and other browser-based technologies, each web page contains within it (or invokes) all the programming needed to perform a particular computation or analysis. " http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=85691 A venue at the ICPSR for college & university teachers to communicate ideas and to disseminate materials for teaching quantitative social and behavioral science. The site contains an archive of data-based instructional materials developed for the classes. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82493 A JavaScript that computes expected values, variances, standard deviations, covariance, and beta parameters for bivariate distributions. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82160 It is a JavaScript that performs the Bayesian inference by combining the sample information with a prior information. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82015 A JavaScript that constructs confidence intervals for difference in means and the ratio of variances for two populations, based on two sets of random observations and a desirable confidence level. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=81918 A JavaScript that computes confidence interval for standard deviation, confidence interval for variance, and confidence interval for expected value of the population. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80060 Provides the necessary tools for theidentification, estimation, and forecasting based on autoregressive order one obtained from a given time series. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80021 A JavaScript that test for the presence of any significant seasonal component in a given time series using its seasonal index vector. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79981 It is a JavaScript that constructs a graph of a given time series as a tool for the initial characterization process.
